Gayle Brennan Spencer – sending random thoughts to and from San Antonio

Postcard Projects

“Cowboy Blues: She broke my heart…and I miss her rabbit stew.”

While conducting research for a novel-in-progress about Hedda Burgemeister and Otto Koehler, Gayle Brennan Spencer became fascinated and distracted by the stories old postcards have to tell – resulting in a series of collages, “Postcards from San Antonio.” Gayle maintains the original, intimate scale of the postcards and period stamps to force viewers to come closer to read these messages from earlier times – to ponder how they relate to life today.
